The idea is to keep the LAPD or LASD smiling in case they are ever running my tags. (Officer: "Oh the tag means, "LA's Great" [hahahaha]... This guy must really like LA...Maybe I'll hold off and give him a warning on this one").

Knocking on wood, but it has worked ok so far.

And no, nobody interprets it as "Lazy Great." Outside of LA, though its probably a different story
